For those research teams who prefer to do it themselves, J-KEM now offers each of its robotic systems as a fully configured and tested workstation, but with no pre-installed software. With complete systems starting under $6,000, this is a highly affordable way to introduce robotics to your workflow. Software options are available to support your custom development. Toll-free: (800) 827-4849 Fax: (314) 863-6070 www.jkem.com [email protected] Eclipse Robotic Workstations The Eclipse workstation uses modular X- and Y-axis rails combined with a wide selection of automated tools such as grippers, multi-position needles, and custom probes. The open design of the Eclipse provides easy access to the entire workstation deck. Value: From $20,000 Affordability: The affordable price of the Eclipse (starting under $20,000) creates new opportunities for lab automation. For example, a weighing station with bar code scanner and 0.01 mg resolution balance costs about $28,000. Features: • Speed: 400 mm/sec • Positional Accuracy: ±0.02mm • Z-Axis Force: 10 pounds Test Tube Weighing Station Examples of Eclipse Workstations • Bar code scanner • Excel output Plate Washer with Heated Reaction Station • Analytical balance See the Eclipse in action at: www.jkem.com/robotics • Multi-step synthesis program run in micro titer plate cells • Plate gripper • Temperature controlled reactor Solid Phase Extraction Station • 24 Columns developed in parallel • Controls flow rate in all columns • Solvent level in each column is optically monitored to stop solvent flow when the solvent front reaches the top of the packing.

J-KEM’s experience in lab automation, including temperature control, reactor design, fluid delivery, solid and solution phase synthesis is invaluable when optimizing the design of custom robotics. Polymer Compounding Robot Modules: 4-Temperaure zone reaction block, balance, bar code reader, heated & cooled reagent block, cooled 4-position sonicator, precision syringe pump with 16 reagent ports, 6-zone temperature controller, and needle wash station. Custom Software You Own the Solution J-KEM believes that you should not only own the instrument, but you should own the technology that created the instrument. That’s why we are the only company that releases the original source code with every robot. This gives you the power to change every aspect of the robot’s operation as your automation needs change. Custom software is written for every workstation to provide an intuitive user interface. The procedure’s setup, the way data is read into and out of the program, and the exact sequence of program steps are all customized to make the operation of your robot both efficient and user friendly. Personal Service J-KEM is committed to personal service, offering any support that’s needed to assure the successful integration and productivity of our automation solutions. With one phone call, you can talk to the engineer who designed your robot, the engineer who installed it, and the software engineer who wrote the program. Value J-KEM’s custom robotics are often half the price of other companies’ “one-size-fits-all” alternative. While many of the modules on a workstation are standard J-KEM products, we also use the best available instruments like balances, bar code readers, and pumps to assemble the final workstation in the most affordable and efficient manner. It’s not really enough to own the code if it’s not easy to use. Written in VB.Net, the robotic software contains intuitive, high level functions that make understanding or modifying your code easy. Consider the example to the right that weighs every vial in a 96 vial rack. Page 4 For Vial = 1 to 96 Rack.MoveToCell(XY, Vial) Gripper.PickUpVial() Balance.Tare() Balance.MoveToCell(XY, 1) MyWeight = Balance.Weight() PutVialBack(Vial) Next J-KEM Scientific Toll-free: (800) 827-4849 Why is it important to own the original source code? Without the source code, you’re stuck with the robot you have rather than the robot you need as your automation needs change. For example, suppose the robot’s original task was weighing and dissolving samples to specific concentrations, but now you need it to add reagents to 4 mL septum vials in a temperature controlled reactor with mixing. In most cases you’d need to purchase a new robot. Even for small changes, if you don’t own the original source code, then you’re 100% dependent on the company who does. J-KEM offers ongoing software support for all of our customers. But still, to own the tools that place you in control of your own workstation is invaluable. Fax: (314) 863-6070 www.jkem.com [email protected] Phoenix Robotic Workstations Phoenix workstations have three distinctive characteristics: 1. Large deck size that allows access to multiple racks and modules such as shakers, balances, and filter stations. 2. Multiple Z-probe tools. This robot has simultaneous access to three 2.5 mL disposable tip probes, three 200 µL disposable tip probes, a septum penetrating needle, a vial gripper, three stainless steel cannula, and a pressure plate to filter samples using positive pressure. 3.

A programmable distribution valve allows the system to dispense to and withdraw from up to 8 reagent bottles or reactors in any sequence. In addition to the standard programs pre-loaded in the controller (see below), J-KEM offers custom programming at no additional charge to automate virtually any fluid delivery task. Additionally, KEM-Commander PC software allows the user to build sophisticated delivery programs with an intuitive drag-n-drop interface. Ordering information for the SYR-1200 and accessories is on page 13. Standard Syringe Pump Programs Standard programs are permanent and pre-loaded in the syringe pump controller Program 1. Timed Addition Sequentially adds up to 16 reagents to a single or multiple reactors at user specified rates. The syringe automatically primes and refills with the active reagent as needed. Example (pump fitted with a 5 mL syringe): 1) Add 12mL of reagent A at a rate of 3 mL/min 2) Add 2.5mL of reagent B at a rate of 0.025 mL/min 3) Delay 1 hour 4) Add 10mL of reagent C at a rate of 60 mL/min Program 2. Program Loader Use KEM-Commander PC software (included) to construct a custom syringe pump program in a drag-ndrop visual environment. Program Loader then uploads that program to nonvolatile memory in the syringe pump controller. Once stored in the controller, the program can be run at any time with no PC needed. Construct programs for parallel reactions, filling titer plates, washing, or any custom application. Program controlled distribution valve fills and dispenses from up to 8 ports Glass and Teflon syringe Delivery rates from 0.75 µL/min to 375mL/min Up to 16 pumps can be combined into a single system KEM-Commander Software Program 3. PC Control Places all functions of the syringe pump under PC control. Useful for robotic applications or when part of a larger automated reaction system. KEM-Commander is standard with every pump and allows the user to construct sophisticated syringe pump programs in an intuitive drag-ndrop environment. Programs can then be run/saved/recalled from the PC or uploaded to the pump. Program 4. Custom At no additional charge, the user can specify a custom syringe pump program. This program is written by J-KEM and stored as one of the permanent programs. Program 5. Update Manager Allows new or updated programs, available from J-KEM (via E-mail or web site), to be uploaded into permanent memory. Program 6. Concurrent Addition (SYR-2200 only) Adds two reagents in parallel to a common reaction at two independent rates. Program 7. Serial Dilution (SYR-2200 only) Repeatedly dispenses two reagents in a user specified ratio. For a comparison of the features of the SYR-1200 and the SYR-1400, see page 12.

The SYR-1400 is operated from a PC running J-KEM’s KEM-Pump software. KEM-Pump implements all the programs of the SYR-1200 plus additional programs for serial and multi-reactor reagent additions. Unlike any other syringe pump, KEM-Pump is an open source code application that allows researchers with programming experience to create their own applications without limitations (see blue insert below). Demo software at: www.jkem.com\syringepumps Ordering information for the SYR-1400 and accessories is on page 13. The SYR-1400 system includes both the syringe pump and KEM-Pump software. KEM-Pump is open source, graphical software that includes both pre-written applications and the original source code, in VB.Net, to allow users to create their own custom applications. KEM-Pump is a bold advance in laboratory automation that provides the user unprecedented control over how the syringe pump operates. KEM-Pump handles the low level tasks, like serial communications, then exposes high level functions for virtually any syringe pump action, greatly simplifying the effort needed to write new applications. For example, the code block below fully implements dispensing any volume of reagent at a user specified rate; syringe refills are handled automatically. The list of functions and a complete programmer’s manual is available at jkem.com. Public Sub StartTimedAddition(ByVal Exp as RunData, Byval PumpAddress as Int32) ‘Start a timed addition experiment.

The key differences between the SYR-1200 and the SYR-1400 are 1) the SYR-1200 has its own syringe pump controller allowing it to be used as a stand-alone instrument while the SYR-1400 requires a PC for operation, and 2) the SYR-1400 is substantially more versatile, taking advantage of the power of a PC. The SYR-1200 Both the SYR-1200 and the SYR-1400 use the same pump module. This means that both systems provide identical performance in regards to flow rate range and accuracy. It also means that both system use the same syringes, distribution valves and other accessories. Controller Controller The SYR-1400 is operated from your PC. Programs are stored and recalled, and the experiment’s progress is displayed on the PC. The SYR-1200 is operated from its own computer controller which means that a PC is not required for operation. The controller stores and recalls the various programs and has a keypad for user input and a screen to display the experiment’s progress. Standard Programs The SYR-1400 comes with KEM-Pump graphical control software that runs the syringe pump module. KEM-Pump implements all of the standard programs of the SYR-1200 plus several others. Standard Programs The syringe pump controller has the most common and useful pump applications loaded into permanent memory (see page 10). Custom Programs J-KEM offers to write one custom program and load it into permanent memory at no additional charge. Creating New Programs The SYR-1200 comes with a free PC application called KEM-Commander.

[email protected] Something unusual from a scientific instrument company From the beginning, J-KEM has worked to be part of the research community, rather than just a supplier to the research community. That’s why J-KEM offers substantial Academic discounts on every item we sell, because we believe that supporting the next generation of researcher is part of our corporate responsibility. J-KEM’s Continuous Flow Reactor continues that commitment by supplying the high quality instruments that are needed for research today. At the time this catalog was printed, our continuous flow reactor was still in development, but even in development, its performance and features so significantly exceeded those of any other flow reactor that we decided to provide a preview of what’s coming. Continuous Flow Reactor J-KEM’s continuous flow reactor can be configured to operate in either of two modes, reaction discovery mode or preparative synthesis mode. In discovery mode, a homogeneous mixture of reaction materials are loaded into a sample injection loop which are then injected into the flow reactor. The reactants flow through the reactor being pushed forward by a continuous stream of clean solvent. While the reactants from the first injection are in the reactor, the reactants for a second injection are being measured out and mixed by a robotic workstation that both prepares reactants for injection and acts as a fraction collector for the reaction products as they elute. Up to 128 reactions can be fully automated without requiring operator intervention. In discovery mode, 50 - 100 mg of products are typically produced in each experiment. Fully automated operation runs up to 128 unattended reactions • Prepares reactant mixtures and loads the sample loop • Controls timing of reactant injections and product collection • Program control of flow rate and reactor temperature J-KEM’s continuous flow reactor can also be configured to run in preparative mode to produce gram quantities of reactants. In prep mode, the reactants are continuously pumped into the reactor in the desired ratios by adjusting the flow rate of the two reactant pumps. This method was used to run the reaction shown at the left, which resulted in the preparation of 1.94 g of the aryl amine during a 3.5 hour run. Reactor Features • Multiple reactor options: - Stainless steel, Inconel, PEEK, PTFE - Tube OD’s of 1/16” and 1/8” - Tube ID’s from 0.02” to 0.14” - Reactor volumes from 1 mL to 20 mL • Flow rates from 0.01 to 5.0 mL/min • High pressure (4000 psi) pump • Temperature range from RT to 300o C • Back pressure regulators from 100 to 1000 psi • Manual or fully automated operation J-KEM Scientific Toll-free: (800) 827-4849 Fax: (314) 863-6070 www.jkem.com [email protected] Page 15 Personal Reaction Station MedChem Synthesis in a Parallel Format Built-in Magnetic Stirring Heat, Cool, Reflux • Add reagents • Sample reactions in an inert atmosphere The Personal Reaction Station has every feature needed for lead development and high throughput applications. The reactor provides precise temperature control, powerful magnetic stirring, and an inert atmosphere for each reaction tube. Reactions Remove individual reactions are run in 50 mL glass without disturbing the tubes that fit inside a atmosphere in any other tube heated and cooled reactor base. Six built-in magnetic stirrers provide uniform stirring even for viscous and heterogeneous reactions. A reflux condenser plate surrounds the midsection of each reaction tube providing for a continuous reflux with no cross contamination or solvent loss. Reactors connect to an inert gas manifold through separate needle valves and quick disconnect fittings, allowing individual reactors to be removed without disturbing the atmosphere in other reactor.

Single key stroke commands provide the functionality to: · · · · Set up a new reaction Mix the reactants and resin Filter & wash the resin Cleave and collect final products The SPS reactor works by pressurizing the reactor base with nitrogen gas until it exactly offsets the pull of gravity. In this way, solvent can be added to a single reactor with none of it dropping through the frit. As reactors are sequentially filled, the SPS computer regulator precisely controls the flow of nitrogen to maintain the reactor’s back pressure to +-0.001 psi. Using nitrogen back pressure to hold solvent in the reaction tube eliminates the need for mechanical valves or other mechanical devices which prevents automation of the SPS process. Reactions are mixed by placing the reactor on a bench top shaker, or by increasing the pressure in the base to cause continuous or intermittent bubbling up through the frit mixing the resin and reactants. Reaction setup, mixing, washing, and filtration are accomplished by a single key stroke on the computer pressure regulator. Can be combined with J-KEM’s Eclipse robot for fully automated, multi-step SPS reactions. Automation Ready SPS reactor with reactor reflux heater and digital temperature controller Reactor Reflux Heater surrounds each reactor to provide heating to the reaction solvent and cooling to the top half of the reactor.

Connect the regulator to any vacuum pump or vacuum source and then to any piece of equipment to regulate pressure in most cases to ± 1 torr. A pressure ramp feature (standard) evacuates equipment at a user defined rate to eliminate bumping due to solvent degassing or over-evacuation. The vacuum regulator is ideally suited for large volume distillations, rotary evaporators and vacuum chambers. The DVR-200 is not recommended for small volume distillations or applications which involve a continuous purge with gas. These are better performed by J-KEM’s Precision Vacuum Regulator, the DVR-1000.

The DVR-200 regulates pressure by opening and closing a valve that separates the vacuum source from the system being evacuated. In most cases, the DVR-200 is the best choice. DVR-280 The DVR-280 is designed for use with diaphragm vacuum pumps. In some systems, pressure is regulated by turning on and off the vacuum pump itself. The DVR-280 extends the life of diaphragm pumps by not exposing the diaphragm to full vacuum pressures when starting, which increases pump life by 100%. J-KEM uses the highest quality components available. For example, most vacuum controllers use a silicone filled vacuum transducer (because they cost less), but J-KEM uses a stainless steel diaphragm transducer.

An example of a FLASH module is the Exo/ Endo module that automatically quantifies, then alerts the user when an exothermic reaction is detected. KEM-Net software is included with all USB enabled controllers. Features: · · · · · Run 16-step temperature and vacuum ramps Easy setup using an Excel-like table input Enter setpoints and controller parameters remotely Real-time graphical display and data logging to Excel Encrypted data file is tamper-proof, meeting GLP and GMP requirements E-mail alerts of over- & under-temperature alarms PC Control, serial communications, networking, and data logging explained..... J-KEM supports three serial communications standards: USB, RS-232, and RS-485. Each has advantages and limitations. J-KEM USB This is the standard port on 200-Series temperature controllers and the Digital Vacuum Regulator. The advantage of USB is that it’s present on all PCs and supports connecting multiple controllers to a single PC. The only limitation of USB is that cable lengths cannot be longer than 15 feet without using a USB extender (offered below). Controllers connect to the PC’s USB ports or a USB hub. RS-232 A hardware RS-232 port is available, but usually not needed. J-KEM’s USB port includes a virtual RS-232 port driver that operates with software utilizing RS-232 communications. RS-485 has the unique advantage that cable lengths between the instrument and PC can be as long as 4000 feet. For lab arrangements that require long cable runs, RS-485 is a valuable alternative. Contact J-KEM for ordering assistance. J-KEM’s KEM-Comm software is required for RS-485 communications.

Offering one product, the Model 260 temperature controller, we finish our first year with sales of $784.00. 1989 Flush with cash from its first year sales, J-KEM doubles its product line and begins offering the Model 210. Attended the Fall ACS meeting, exhibiting all four of the controllers we owned, then spent sleepless nights worrying how we’d fill orders if they came in. J-KEM Scientific’s employees gathered around the fire pole of our first facility, the fire house. 1990 J-KEM’s first major customer was Dr. James Zeller of Parke Davis. J-KEM expands its manufacturing area 400% by moving from just the corner to occupy the entire basement (sorry girls about your play house). 1992 First international sale. Model 210 to Italy. 1993 Moved to our first commercial building. Hired our first full time employee (Li, above). Built the first power control computer (8 bits, 4 MHz!!). 1994 - Incorporated as J-KEM Scientific 1995 - Purchased our first building, J-KEM appreciates the relationship we’ve had with all of our customers. It’s more than just the obvious fact that without you, J-KEM would not be in business. We appreciate the friendships and the ideas we’ve received from world class scientists, that without, many of our best products wouldn’t exist. Don Korte gave us the idea for the miniature overhead stirrer, Martyn Fordham, the Personal Reaction Station, Dr. Bruce Hamper the Solid Phase Synthesis Regulator, and the unknown chemist from Abbott who came to our booth at the ACS show to say “I don’t need a temperature controller, I need a vacuum regulator that works”. This resulted in our Digital Vacuum Regulator. 20 Years of Innovation a 1930’s fire house. 1998 - First years sales >$1,000,000. 1999 - First robot sold to Dr. Glass 40 MHz microprocessor enables * Exo & Endotherm analysis * USB communications * Enhanced safety of Zenica. 2000+ - Emphasis in lab automation, parallel reactors, and robotics. Pictured are the original (left) and new (right) Model 210-Timer circuit boards 2008 - Staying abreast with advances in technology: • Third generation power control computer • Second generation Syringe Pumps • Two new robotic designs • Custom lab automation instruments and software The first temperature controller made by J-KEM, sold to Dr. Kurt Moedritzer of Monsanto (Dr. Moedritzer also purchased controller #2. Our first loyal customer!!) In 2008, J-KEM completed the redesign and implementation of the 3rd generation of its power control computer. The new design uses a FLASH programmable microprocessor that can be updated with new controller features from J-KEM’s web site.
